Northwest's Theatre Department presents Proof

Theatre Northwest concludes its fall Second Stage season Thursday, Nov. 16, and Friday, Nov. 17, in Charles Johnson Theater with a production of the David Auburn drama "Proof."

Curtain is 7:30 p.m. for both nights and the admission is $5.

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volitale emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness-or genius- will she inherit?

"Proof" has won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, and has enjoyed a successful run on Broadway before being turned into a feature film starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins
